  I mean not to be mean or anything but compared to his original movie counterpart DBD Freddie IS boring, I read a fanfic where the writer did a trial with OG Nightmare on Elmstreet Freddie against Laurie Strode and nothing can really compare to him taunting Laurie using her dead friends from the first Halloween movie while trying to come onto her as a badly enacted version of her old flame. Like Freddy will always be boring because his canonical powers far exceed what can actually be done in the scope of a DBD trial. He's also more predictable than he used to be, I found it harder to understand his mechanics in the old days, now I find him easier to read. Him and Wraith swapped places in that regard.

  I find it funny that I had to go through 2 whole pages to find someone who had my sentiment on the situation and its at the very bottom.

  
  

  
  

  I get that freddy can never truly achieve his full potential, I think its part of why we wouldn’t get certain killers at all because their spirit and what makes them fun or interesting won’t carry over well in translation.

  
  

  But for some reason when I look at him in particular I get greedy with him for some reason despite him having MORE technically speaking than some others. And I just start to feel like he doesn’t land as well as he should, but I can’t quite put my finger on why, Is it because I just preferred the vibe his pre-rework version gave off? Is it because I like his canon power a bit **too much** and so my expectations are just set too high endlessly?
